Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, leaves the Senate Republican Policy luncheon in Hart Building on Wednesday, September 9, 2020.Republican Sen. Ted Cruz says the mounting national debt will re-emerge as a major concern for the GOP.
The deficit had been growing even before the pandemic hammered the American economy as a result of the 2017 tax cuts and spending increases that Trump had enacted with GOP backing. Many Republicans are reluctant to support another pandemic aid bill, citing the growing federal debt.Sen. Ted Cruz said the growing national debt is set to broadly re-emerge as an area of concern of Republicans down the road.
During an interview on "Axios on HBO" with political reporter Jonathan Swan, the Texas Republican discussed the budget deficit and the federal debt. The pair had an energetic back-and-forth on the matter, with Swan saying Republicans had approved spending policies that grew the deficit, like the 2017 tax cuts.
never ran on cutting the debt, but the president campaigned in 2016 to eliminate it within eight years.Asked if the swelling debt and deficit will become an area of concern for the GOP, Cruz responded: "Sure.""You're touching into something that as you know I've raged against," Cruz replied. "I've raged against my own party not genuinely fighting to rein in spending and deficits and debt.
Of course it will. How convenient. 🙄
Teddy has 0.0 cred
get over it

Magically, after they add more debt than any other administration
They somehow forgot about debt when Trump was president and they are going to find out about it when Biden will be president. The last time they made a fuss about it is when Obama was president! The Cons. are cons.
SURE, 'NOW THEY'RE CONCERNED' AFTER THEY HAPPILY & READILY APPROVED BILLIONS OF $$$$$ OF TAX RELIEF FOR BILLIONAIRES, SUPER MILLIONAIRES & THEIR WEALTHY DONORS, FRIENDS & FAMILY !!!! 👍 ZIPPO, NADA FOR ORDINARY AMERICANS... 💩
WTF! Been spending like teenagers since Bush but he’s about to lose so wants to preach. 3 trillion down the whole and we didn’t even beat the 1st wave of the virus. My how far he has fallen riding with Drumf
Republican's Tax Scam is too blame. He's just a little fascist who moved from Canada to trash the United States.
Of course it will, their goal is to spread misery and suffering. Keeping America beaten down after a crisis is totally what they want to do. They made America 'Ghastly' and they are going to keep it that way as long as possible.
This is a problem GOPSenate created
Lol
Right on cue
Certainly when Trump loses it will. But you cowards won’t do a thing while he’s in office. I’ve never been so disappointed in the leadership of our country. Can believe I’m saying this but Biden please MAGA!
Not all polls are the same and accurate but I trust those that are not one-sided. VOTE
The debt they created, the debt they ALWAYS create.
Practicing austerity now so when they lose, they can kneecap any Democrat agenda with a renewed sense of fiscal responsibility they’ve forgotten about the last four years
I'm sure the Democratic President, Congress and Senate will listen closely to Rafael's advice.
That's because a Democrat will be President and that's the ONLY time the GOP cares about the debt. Right tedcruz?
Remember the debt is only a problem for Republicans when they are not in power to do anything but complain about it.
